+<para>
+This command is a convenient alternative to manually deleting
+directories and files they contain. It is only used when
+<emphasis>all</emphasis> files in the directory system are to be deleted.
+</para>
+<para>
+When DELDIR is run, it prints a prompt message like this:
+</para>
+<screen>
+OS9: deldir OLDFILES
+Deleting directory file.
+List directory, delete directory, or quit ? (l/d/q)
+</screen>
+<para>
+An &quot;l&quot; response will cause a &quot;dir e&quot; command to be run so you can
+have an opportunity to see the files in the directory before they
+are deleted.
+</para>
+<para>
+A &quot;d&quot; response will initiate the process of deleting files.
+</para>
+<para>
+A &quot;q&quot; response will abort the command before action is taken.
+</para>
+<para>
+The directory to be deleted may include directory files, which
+may themselves include directory files, etc. In this case, DELDIR
+operates recursively (e.g., it calls itself) so all lower-level
+directories are deleted as well. In this case the lower-level
+directories are processed first.
+</para>
+<para>
+You must have correct access permission to delete all files and
+directories encountered.   If not, DELDIR will abort upon
+encountering the first file for which you do not have write
+permission.
+</para>
+<para>
+The DELDIR command automatically calls the DIR and ATTR
+commands, so they both must reside in the current execution
+directory.
